Some FAQs from last year on virtual voting: Q: What's the software used for voting? A: We will be using the hosted version of the Condorcet Internet Voting Service (CIVS) at https://civs.cs.cornell.edu Q: Is this code open source? A: Yes. The code is available under a BSD-like research license Q: Is this method of voting secure? A: Privacy and security is a focus of CIVS. See https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/sec_priv.html for more information. Q: The website mentions ranked choice voting. What is this? A: In ranked choice voting, you rank your preferred choices from most to least liked. The theory is this results in a more accurate representation of what the voter pool wants. Q: The description mentions an 'election supervisor'. What is this role? A: The election supervisor's role is to start and stop the poll, send links to voters, and set various options for the poll. A single e-mail address is used to e-mail the link to manage the election, after which anyone with the link can manage the poll. Q: Who is the election supervisor for the TAB elections? A: We have created a mailing list for election management, tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org Q: What if I lose the e-mail before I vote? A: Please e-mail tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org Q: What if I want to change my vote? A: This is not possible, please make sure you've made your final choices when you click submit. Q: What if I want to practice voting? A: CIVS has a number of sample polls available. Feel free to vote in those to see how the process works. _______________________________________________ Ksummit-discuss mailing list Ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-discuss
